Are people sick of logins?You're not describing forced logins, but content locking by paid subscription. Getting their content indexed by google is a marketing tactic to gain more subscribers, but they don't want to show their content for free.

Is 'usability' enough for a company portal?Difficult to see what is being asked here. You're asking if it's a valid argument, but I don't read anything that sounds like an argument. To me it sounds like you are rambling.

Do users care about https?No, the transaction is not secured by Cloudflare. Only the HTTP connection is. The transaction from a user perspective is the financial transaction between consumer and merchant.

Best practices for multiple buttonsI don't think it's necessary to make the delete so visually intense with the red background. I saw that first, and then have to look for the other buttons. You have a confirm for the delete so why add more notice to the action? I'd make it in the same style as the "cancel" and "save as" links and keep them together.

How can I decide whether to use a button or a hyperlink?You could detach Tax Bill from the group, but keep it on the same horizontal line. You're using the correct icon from jQuery UI to represent an external link. Instead of calling it Tax Bill. You could label it by the name of the external website. That would be more clear.

Increase font-size for larger displays with responsive design?@DA01 em are good too, because they are relative to the font size. Whereas px is relative to page scale. One advantage is using a third-party stylesheet. If they use em then it scales correctly, but if they use px it won't match your other style sizes.
